DATA REVIEWED & ANALYZED:
Based on your schools NSPF results, identify what additional data have been reviewed and analyzed in development of the SPP.

Summary Statement: Please provide a brief description for how the analyzed data will impact your Inquiry and Action Planning process.The 2014-2015 NSPF is unavailable due to statewide testing irregularity and lack of SBAC data and 2015-2016 is pending completion of 2016 testing.
The 2013-2014 NSPF indicates Paradise is a 2-Star School that has room for substantial improvement in the area of student achievement with specific subgroup populations, including IEP, ELL, and FRL. According to the 2013-2014 NSPF, the overall percent of students proficient in reading increased by 5%. Paradise increased reading proficiency in the IEP and ELL subpopulations by 4 percentage points and FRL increased 7 percentage points. However, the school's proficiency in the same subgroups in math decreased. The IEP subpopulation decreased from 5% proficient to 0%, the ELL subpopulation decreased from 38% to 31% proficient and FRL decreased from 48% to 42% proficient. Paradise continues to score below the district and state proficiency levels.Additionally, Paradise Professional Development School plans to continue and expand the professional development model that was implemented during the 2015-2016 school year. Due to a large proportion of novice, probationary teachers, Paradise PDS established a systematic approach for providing professional development and developing leadership through coaching/mentoring emphasizing effective teaching behaviors. Cognitive coaching and professional development on effective teaching behaviors took place monthly with instructional observations followed by an immediate coaching session emphasizing reflective professional practice. Documented coaching feedback was provided by coaching consultants and administrators to ensure teachers received immediate, written feedback on their use of effective teaching behaviors modeled during professional development sessions. This data provides the basis for the action steps and budget planning reflected in the School Performance Plan.

COMPONENT IV: REQUIRED ELEMENTS FOR TITLE I SCHOOLS:
Title I Schools operating a Schoolwide Program must complete Items 1 through 5 on this page.
1. Describe the school's strategies to attract effective, highly-qualified teachers to your school.Paradise offers a team approach to supporting teachers on staff. Master schedules allow for common grade level planning time at least four days per week. Curr. specialists/consultants serve as professional coaches offering non-evaluative suggestions to assist and help new teachers assimilate to curriculum expectations. Teachers are encouraged to pursue higher professional aspirations through organized school or district professional development. Teachers' input is routinely sought and valued.
2. Describe the school's strategies to increase family engagement in accordance with Section 1118 of NCLB (see resource link), such as family literacy services and the provision to parents on how the school will share academic information in a language they understand.Family Academic Time events (Leadership Day, Zoom Nights, Story N Snack, Family Picnic, Academic Nights, Library Night, etc.) bring families together to experience instructional activities and obtain take-home activities for extended learning in core academic areas. On-site computer access & staff guidance is provided to parents to accomplish educational and service-related tasks, including transportation, food service, medical records, etc. Monthly Coffee N Conversation mtgs for parents, staff, administration & community.
3. Describe the school's plans for transition and articulation between school programs (ie: assisting preschool children from early childhood programs such as Head Start, Even Start, or a state-run preschool program to elementary school, elementary school to middle school, and middle to high school, etc.).Fifth grade teachers work with our school counselor and the MS counselors to prepare students for transition into the middle school setting. Likewise, our pre-k instructional staff work with kinder staff to prepare students for transition into full-day kinder. Kindergarten round-up provides pre-assessment of readiness skills and resources for parents to work with students in summer prior to kinder.
4.
